Hi -
I've set up servlet-mappings of:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/data/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.gif</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
... others...
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mydispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
the intention was:
* when I request anything ending .gif, the default servlet deals with it.
* when I request anything beginning /data/ the default servlet deals
with it.
* otherwise mydispatcher deals with it.
however the weird thing is, that any requests to "CONTEXT/data/whatever"
is handled by the default servlet as if it was a request for
"CONTEXT/whatever" (ie. it strips out the /data/) so to get something in
a folder called "/data" I need to request "CONTEXT/data/data/whatever")
So...
* Is this expected behaviour for the DefaultServlet (having skimmed
the functional specs for it[1], it does appear that the DefaultServlet
"expects" to be served as url-pattern "/")? In this case I need to make
my own version of the defaultServlet
* Acutally a config error (can't work out how) - like maybe I need to
specify some extra piece of Context (at the moment these are just
Context free wars dropped into the webapps folder).
* some kind of corner case bug.
Any help useful
thanks
Tim
